Hidden gem for sure, ran by what seems to be a mother and daughter and damn do they work hard. Food was delicious and the place was super cozy. One of the best omelettes I ever had, be sure to check them out! read more

The food was decent diner fare. They don't make their calamari or their jalapeño poppers, but the fish and prawns were home battered. The price was a bit steep for what we got, but there weren't a lot of choices nearby. read more

I stopped by this cozy little cafe after leaving the Point Arena Lighthouse after a local fisherman at the Wharf recommended it. It has a welcoming vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the regular-sized Fish & Chips, which came with 5 pieces of flaky cod, fries, Asian-style coleslaw, lemon, and tartar sauce. For about $20, it was a solid portion and definitely hit the spot. The kind woman brought me check while I was still finishing up, it wasn't a big deal. I'd happily come back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Came for lunch on Saturday and it was very busy here! Our food took quite a while to come out, but they stop taking breakfast orders at noon and we ordered off the lunch menu almost exactly at noon, so that may be why. Very cute, cozy diner vibes. I had the cup of clam chowder and Caesar salad, both of which were quite solid. My friends loved the frickles. Prices were pretty average. read more

We enjoyed breakfast here. Walking distance from our Tiny House abode: Lighthouse Pointe. On Highway 1 in Pt Arena. Friendly servers, and fast moving. Glad it's open, and full of locals- then you know it's good. Loved the many breakfast items to choose from. They serve lunch dinners, drinks and desserts too. read more

This is a cute place with a nice outdoor seating area I wish I had the time to sit out there. We just called to pick up our order. We got the fish and chips and a side of onion rings. The staff were super friendly and the place was busy! It's like a quaint diner, relaxing atmosphere. We would come back if we were in the area. read more

Had a couple of meals here and they were all good. The service was friendly and it's a cute aged building with out door space. My favorite items were the frickles and calamari. Cobb salad- great but chicken was dry. Pesto chicken sandwich- yum! The bread was great! Crab cake Benedict pretty good- has brown La could be cooked longer. Country fried steak- great crust on the steak but the gravy is salty not quite country style. read more

We were driving to see Point Arena Lighthouse. Looking for a good burger along the way. We found this awesome place. Super friendly when we walked in. Seated, brought drinks right away. Amazing service throughout. This little place rocked the best burger we've had. The flavors of these juicy burger was unbelievable. I ordered the frickles (fried pickles) with mine, and my fiance ordered his burger with fries. We both were so into eating our amazing delicious burgers, we hardly said anything word until the food was gone. I can't wait to return here. I would love to try there breakfast specials next time. We both definitely recommend this burger Cafe! #juicyburgers,, #friedpickles, #deliciouscupofcoffee! read more

Excellent service! Food delicious!!! I ordered crab cake Benedict and all I can say is WOW. Hollandaise was lemony & creamy. Hash browns were so flavorful & literally the best I'd ever had. Hubby order a Denver omelette and was able to get no bell peppers. Very happy eating here!!! read more

Rollerville Cafe - Almost gone crab Benedict & Denver omelette!! - American Near Me - Point Arena, California

Have been going to Rollerville every time we come to the area, it has been a few years. I was so looking forward to going here again during this trip. The fish and chips have gotten so small and same with the prawns. The fish looked more like chicken nuggets with a thin piece of fish. The tartar sauce just tasted like mayonnaise. We don't like coleslaw so I asked if we could substitute something else. The waitress said it is just a small amount, I will just have them leave it off. We were very disappointed and won't be back. read more

Whenever we visit Point Arena we make a point to eat at Rollerville Cafe. It's a little rustic inside but the food is always delicious and the servers are very friendly. One of their specials, which isn't always listed so you'd have to ask for it, is the Jalapeño Cream Cheese burger. It is so good! Burger, jalapeño, and a huge brick of cream cheese. Try it!! My other go-to is the Apple Burger, which is a hand made patty with apples and rosemary. It is great and a change from your normal burger. Even the fries are delicious, perfectly crispy and salty. Don't forget to try a milkshake too! The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating. The parking is very limited however so get there fast for a spot! read more

The chicken sandwich, on the focaccia... Yes! Great service too! Very cute spot for a cozy meal. read more

The customer service here is absolutely terrible wasn't even given a minute to look at the menu before the most grumpiest women comes to take my order and she doesn't even say hi or anything just immediately starts blabbering about specials. Immediately I wanted to leave because of how bad her customer service skills are, she should retire if she hates her job that much! read more

Great breakfast and lunch diner at Lighthouse Road. Lots of traditional options. Good portions, friendly staff. Nice indoor and outdoor dining areas. Definitely a winner in this somewhat remote area. read more

Solid breakfast. Eggs and hash browns cooked perfectly, fantastic sausage patty. Tasted homemade. My husband had the chilaquiles and those were sadly not so good. The Chili powder sprinkled on the chips was a bit off-putting and the egg wasn't melded in with the chips. read more

Great cafe, with indoor and outdoor seating. We had country-fried steak, the best I ever had, and that's my go-to breakfast choice. The country gravy put this dish over the top. My wife had an Ortega chili, onion omelet with avocado on top. The omelet was huge and tasty. It was a bit pricey ($40.00+) but not many restaurants around, and it was a good meal & great service. read more

I was headed to Better Place Forests with my friend to celebrate my birthday on Friday, May 16th. We'd determined earlier that we'd have lunch here since it was only 7 minutes away from our destination. This Cafe was a delightful surprise! I had the 3-piece cod fish and chips which I thought was excellent, just the right helping size, with a crispy crunchy outside and firm and flavorful inside without tasting "fishy" (to me, that's the sign of a great cook). And since I'd read another person's negative comment about the Asian coleslaw, I decided to add some of my tartar sauce to it and then the coleslaw became terrific and yummy! So remember this trick if you ever get their Asian coleslaw--it IS tastier with the tartar sauce! My friend had the plain hamburger which easily looked 3 inches tall! But she said it was quite flavorful even with the tomato, lettuce, sliced pickles, and onion within the bun. Neither of us left any crumbs on our plates! It's a tiny cozy little place that also has a nice outside deck--it was overcast the day we went, so we stayed inside. Service was quick and we had a very pleasant waitress. Kudos to the chef, too--a friendly fellow who made our meals extra special to enjoy! read more

All time best gravy. The service and food is always great and it's always a spot we look forward to whenever we are in point arena. Also the mocha milk shake is so worth it read more

Absolutely a gem lunch spot. They have a nice covered patio in the back. Service was super friendly, food was delicious, and very fast. Portion size is very big, so come hungry. Loved: Fish tacos- really tender, love the fresh strawberry salad that came with it. Burger- jalapeños are a great addition. read more

Roller Energy Dining options are at a minimum out here in Pt Arena, and my unwillingness to schlep over an hour away to the next "decent" restaurant led us here to Rollerville Café (RC) and it turned into a delicious experience. Located adjacent to the Lighthouse Pointe (sic) Resort, RC has been serving tasty diner-style dishes in this neck of the woods for over 15yrs now. Their slogan "The Last Café Until Hawai'i" is catchy--and technically true! The Good: *These boiz know their way around a fryer! The Frickles (deep-fried Pickles) and Baja Fish Tacos were both some of the best deep-fried dishes I'd eaten in a long, long time. Perfectly crisp beer batter and not greasy or oily at all! *Clam Chowder was quite good; tasty broth with the right amount of thickeness and fillings. Was it the best ever? No, but I will say out of the three clam chowders we got over our week vacation here in the North Coast it was by-far the best. *Chai Milkshake was a bit sweet on its own, but once the fried, savory and spicy goodies came out then it was the perfect foil to combat them. *Try the locally-made Chili Gods® hot sauce! *Friendly service and loved our dining companions. :D The Meh: *$1 surcharge for credit cards. Ummm... ok...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Ugly: *Parking lot(s) are shared with hotel guests so you might have to do a few go-rounds to find a spot. Don't panic it's not DTSF on a (pre-covid) Sat night. You'll be fine. I promise. :) TLDR: Five stars might seem a bit extreme for a roadside café of this ilk, but when you can fry food this well, turn out an excellent chowder and provide excellent customer service--then I ask: why not five-stars?! Esp given the area and they could easily turn out slop and def get away with it, and yet they chose not to. Because they care, dammit. read more

This is such a hole in the wall place, but you won't be disappointed! I got the Small Fish & Chips. The fresh cod was lightly battered and fried to perfection. They only accept visa or Mastercard and they have a $1 fee to use a card. read more

Excellent breakfast! The sausage is awesome and the blueberry pancakes are amazing! Service was great and there's inside and outside dining. I gave 4 stars as the wait was very long (45 min). Still recommended but bring your patience. read more

We stopped by last weekend 7/14/24 for breakfast. Had to wait a little bit for a table, but it was well worth it. The food was great, and the service was top notch. Next time we are in the area and ready to eat, we shall stop in again read more

This roadside eatery fries up their fish to perfection. Snagged the large fish and chiThe batter was flavorful and complimented the flaky white fish. I ordered a burger that came out undercooked but they took care of it made a new one in a rtJiffy and it was marvelous. On a bed of avocado, lettuce and tomatoes rested a deep robust, meaty, mushroomy, umami flavor that lulled me into a sleepy dreamworld. A quick jab from the pickles a swift sharp upper cut from the sweet tangy red onions snapped me back to reality in time for another perfectly balanced bite with spongy bun holding it all together No dessert what a shame but Good coffee to keep you focused on the road ahead.

We ate here twice while staying at the Lighthouse Resort (little single-wide rental cabins on the same property). The food was tasty, well-executed, reasonably-priced diner fare with no frills, and was served up by friendly staff. For the first meal (lunch), my wife got a fish taco that she described as "perfect," and I had a chicken strip basket. Her beer-battered fish was cooked perfectly, and my chicken-and-fries combo was simple but delicious. We had breakfast the next morning - we shared a half-order of biscuits and gravy, along with each getting the basic breakfast. The hash browns were crisp, the eggs cooked perfectly to order (you know it's a good diner when the cook delivers on the difference between over-easy and over-medium), and they kept the coffee coming. If you're looking for something cutting edge, this might not be the place for you; however, if you're staying at the cabins, or passing through Point Arena, and you just want some solid diner food, this is a gem. Definitely recommended! read more

This place is conveniently located at the corner of Highway 1 and lighthouse Road. It appears to be located next to a hotel/resort and has plenty of parking. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The service here was really great! She was friendly and attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. This felt like a local favorite. People with their families came for lunch. I was there with coworkers and ordered a jalapeño cream cheese burger. It was really good. It was on their specials menu, but perhaps should be a recurring item. It was delicious. The outdoor area was really nice, except the plastic kept dripping on us as we sat there. read more

Twenty-five dollars per person before tip, bad sausage and gravy, fecal reaction--avoid! Drive on!

Was recommended this place by a local and wasn't even given the chance to try it. Waited 15 min the hostess looked at me and my husband multiple times didn't even offer us water. The couple who got there after us was given water and talk to and me and my husband were blatantly ignored. Walked out after 20 mins shame on the people who work here! GO TO PIER PLACE, food was wonderful and service was a 10. read more

Great food. Stayed at the lighthouse, and we are so happy for this Cafe. Great pickup place, or dine in.

We love this place! We eat here every time we visit the area. It's been family owned for many years. They are so accommodating! I recommend it highly!! read more

I pride myself in my homemade hollandaise sauce but Sterling at Rollerville Cafe out did me. Top shelf. Had the crab benedict... Wow. Best crab cakes ever, think there was a hint of lemon in this freshl crab packed patty. AND, I rarely eat hasbrowns, dont know what they did BUT I love them. Definitely worth a stop on the beautiful Mendocino coastline. read more

Cute little cafe in Point Arena, with cabins to rent also. The Biscuits and gravy are amazing!!! Omelets too !!! Check it out

The food is relatively standard diner flair but there is clearly someone creative in the kitchen. The place is usually busy, and for good reason. Their lunch and breakfast options are delicious. My one gripe is that when on vacation it's hard to be up early enough to get to breakfast! The room is pleasant, homey, and the staff is kind. There is clearly a family air to the service. read more

Food: Solid, prices were great Service: Mendonoma style, take a breath and relax, hope to score sun in Point Arena or cozy up inside Ambiance: just right, place is a little gem if youre lucky enough to be up in that slice of heaven read more

Wow! Had lunch that was SO delicious that had to try the breakfast! Ruben sandwiches were outstanding and the Frickles were a highlight! Fried pickles*. The fish and chips were just perfect as well, almost a tempura type breading and not greasy at all- fish was tender a flaky. Went back this am to try the breakfast offerings and they hit it out of the park once again! The 'Country' breakfast had the best sausage gravy we had ever tasted! I had the corned beef hash and it was just savory goodness. The mother and daughters that own this place, not only serve terrific food but are so friendly and welcoming! We will miss Lynne and her crew at Queenie's but now have a stellar alternative. Happy campers! read more

Great lit spot for some grub. I had the apple burger. I didn't taste the apples in it, but it still was flavorful with the herbs, and a friend had the shrimp and fries, that looked delicious. read more

Always good food and service. Love their eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce is out of this world fantastic.

Came here for lunch on my way through to Manchester KOA. The fish and chips were fantastic! Well seasoned, large portions and amazing tarter sauce for dipping. I definitely recommend if you are in the area. I thought that the Asian style slaw was a little odd. I would've preferred a classic slaw based on what I was eating. But overall, a great spot. read more

When it comes to chicken fried steak and eggs this is the best I've ever had. It is the only thing I order when going out to breakfast and there are some really good places for it. This however tops them all. The sausage gravy wasn't dense but it has a firm consistency that with so much flavor. The hash browns had a thick crisp crust but were a bit on the mushy side for my preference but still great flavor. The staff is friendly and attentive, they also really seem to enjoy working with one another. The walls have paintings from a local artist for sale decorating the walls which is a nice small town touch. Oh, the coffee that goes in the mugs is from Thanksgiving Coffee in Fort Bragg, that's some damn good coffee. Feel free to fill in the rest of the scene from the Pulp Fiction reference read more
